    Summary

    Beatrice finds herself musing not over duty and sacrifice and God, but the truth of angels, if they can be created rather than summoned. If they can take the form of women with overeager mouths and careless limbs and eyes with a depth that beckons - a crooked finger, a spiral staircase - if they can be both human and not, both beautiful and terrifying.

    Ava asks, What do you want, Beatrice?

    (Tell me and I’ll give it to you. Tell me and I’ll build you a home there. Tell me and I’ll rearrange the universe to make it all fit, angels and demons be damned. Tell me it’s me. Me. Me.)

    Summary

    she wanders the earth, moving towards where the help is needed— some say that her feet never touch the ground, untethered to the world she saves. she moves, free and lawless, from town to town. with nothing to come back to, nothing to belong to.

    Summary

    Kara’s not sure why people assume her other senses are heightened, but not her sense of touch. She doesn’t tend to correct them, though. She doesn’t like talking about it. It feels somehow too revealing, and unavoidably intimate, to explain the overwhelming strength of her sensory response to touch. So no, she doesn’t talk about it.

    But talking isn’t the only way to communicate, and one Movie Night with Lena, her body decides to spill the secret whether she wants it to or not.

     

    Author’s Note: Chapter 1 can be read as a stand alone

    I originally intended this as a one-shot, but my brain would not shut up about these two, so…
    Chs. 2 - 8 are not really their own separate stories. But Chapter 1 is. Feel free to take it as the beginning, middle, and end.

    However much you read, hope you like it!

    Kara's senses are sensitive. Especially the tact one.

    Summary

    “Wait. You don’t – what do you mean, you don’t ‘get there’?”

    “You know,” Lena blushes, stirring her cappuccino awkwardly with her pinkie. “Orgasm. I just don’t…do that.”

    “You don’t orgasm,” Sam says flatly, looking increasingly horrified. Lena starts to feel more and more self-conscious about her admission, shifting in her chair with badly-concealed discomfort.

    “No.”

    “EVER?!”

    OR

    Lena has never had an orgasm, so Sam asks her girlfriend's little sister to give her a night to remember. The problem is, Lena isn’t gay. Right?

    Cue lots of sex, a few feelings, and a dash of panic.

    Summary

    One day, two women meet on the subway. The recently dumped Lena is recovering from a broken heart, and Kara is grappling with the open-ish relationship she has with her long-distance boyfriend. They decide that they’re going to become friends. The kind of friends who also have totally casual, no-strings-attached, nobody’s-catching-feelings sex. What could go wrong?

    As Alex puts it: “Kara. This is the dumbest thing you’ve ever done. And I’m including the time that you set fire to your own hair and nearly burned the house down trying to do some spell you found on MySpace to make Troy Bolton materialize in real life and marry you.”

    Or: Lena and Kara go around New York City eating food and banging each other until their feelings eat away at them, and Alex tries not to have an aneurysm about it.
